iPod Touch delays playing music

Hello mkruzel5,

In order to facilitate additional replies from the Community, please provide additional details about the delay you're experiencing. For example:

• Does this delay happen when starting to play music, or between every song?
• When did this behavior begin, or did it always happen?
• Are you using Apple Music, or imported content from Finder or iTunes?

Regards.

I too have the same problem after upgrading to 15. Four. One I am using an iPhone 13. I’m using the iOS music app with my own music and not using Apple Music. Toggling Wi-Fi on off makes no difference. My problem is whenever I use play next song or play previous song, there is a gap/silence from between 10-25 seconds where nothing happens and then finally the song begins to play. This is beyond annoying can you please help.

Hi mkruzel5,

It's great to hear the slow playback speed has been resolved.

If the issue comes back, test the behavior after removing and re-adding the music to your iPod. You may need to use iTunes/Finder to remove the synced music and then sync it back:

Use iTunes to sync your iPhone, iPad, or iPod with your computer - Apple Support

Kind regards.

mkruzel5,

Thanks for those details. You mentioned this occurs while on a walk, do you notice the same thing while connected to Wi-Fi at home?

This will help us isolate things a bit further.

We look forward to hearing what you find out.
